Ok, just say the band breaks up eventually etc and excluding HTDAAB and any future albums (they can be 4th disc), what would be a good 3 disc compilation tracklisting that EVENLY covers their career so far. Remember take into consideration it is a compilation and remain objective. It also has to be a true 'best of' (not unlike the 80-90 and 90-00 which i feel were just 'greatest hits').
Here is a tracklisting i think works well taking into consideration cd running times live set lists from the eras etc, and the flow of the tracks-
